nascar enforces the rules
 
what a refreshing news item...a sanctioning body enforcing thier rules. and even better when it was for "using parts not yet approved" in competition...
hell in nhra thats how you get em approved ... show up at teardwon for indy, claim everyone is doing it and i might know an attorney and SHAZAAM next year its approved.

AND they really penalize people too !!!

Jack, I don't disagree with you entirely. But, NASCAR has a template for the bodies, 3 engine configurations (Chevy, Ford and Toyota), and they have spec suspension parts. NASCAR is clearly different than NHRA trying to keep up with a thousand engine and transmission combinations in Stock and SuperStock. I am not defending NHRA, but how many people would it take to track every specification of every car???????????????? NHRA could have 50 people doing it and still people would not be happy. The difference is, NASCAR pays hundreds of thousands, so if a change is required.....so what..... For us sportsman racers, even a minor change is expensive and important to us.

You cant compare NASCAR to nhra--in any form--its like NFL vs.- pee-wee football--any pro nhra driver would kill to make the $$$$$$ that nascar drivers make:)

You in fact can compare all organizations in one way: how well do they enforce their rules? Whether it's NASCAR, NHRA, or a demolition derby, there are rules in place, and how they are enforced, if at all, is a major measuring stick to the integrity of that series.

Who says you can't compare NASCAR to NHRA? Kyle refers to the 1000 foot mark as "coming out of turn four"

Aren't you impressed that I had the foresight to put the bottle in the passenger door.

Re: nascar enforces the rules
 
from the looks of the car you might have had a bottle in the console too.

The damage wouldn't be so bad if Jeff Strickland's sticker sheets were a bit more durable. They didn't hold up for ****. I barely touched the wall.

Hey Kyle,
Sorry about ya little mishap there, I never like to see or hear about a sweet car being wrecked.
Just how bad is it? Can ya fix what ya have or do ya need a new one?
Do have some more pics for us that don't do Facebook?
How the heck are ya doing with the medical recovery, are ya swinging a baseball bat yet?

Thanks for the well wishes, Bernie. The picture was taken at Craig Anderson's body shop. He looked it over and felt it was entirely fixable. He will be getting on it soon. The motor and driveline appears to be untouched except for maybe the rear end.

The cage kept it from being critically damaged, but it also gave me a bigger blow. Unk has some pics and I will see if I can get him to post them.

I felt like I was a 100% earlier this week. The ribs have reconnected and I started back to exercising. That made me realize I wasn't all the way back. Maybe a couple more weeks then it's on!
